Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hazelnut Crumbs

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven, let cool, and chop them into fine crumbs.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fennel

    Trim the fennel bulb, remove the fronds, and slice it thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together bergamot juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and sliced fennel. Drizzle with the bergamot vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the salad, add spoonfuls of ricotta cheese on top, and sprinkle with the hazelnut crumbs. Serve immediately.
